Hardneck Rocambole Garlic

This Hardneck type produces 5–13 medium-large cloves with tan, brown or reddish skins, slightly loose and relatively easy-peeling. A shorter shelf life than Porcelains, perhaps because the clove skins are looser, or because of a slight tendency to split cloves. Generally stores well through February, and—if well cured and in optimal storage—can store months longer. Some claim Rocamboles have the finest, richest flavor.

Tightly coiled scapes form 8–25 bulbils the size of peas. 45–65 cloves/lb. Zone 3–8
